"I don't like hearing that."

"The Eastern Isles are a small country, but even a small country is a country. It's just that the Eastern Isles are the most shameless and disgusting of all. Their evil deeds have enraged both heaven and man. This time, if the imperial court wins, it will be a good thing. According to what you say, apart from the Xiongnu in the north, the imperial court can't fight anyone else"

"That's not what I meant..."

Seemingly sensing the awkwardness, the one who had brought up the topic earlier quickly chimed in, "I mean, how does the imperial court plan to deal with this East Asian commander"

"There are only two options left. Either we use this as leverage to exchange for benefits and make the East Asian countries pay a heavy price, or we kill them as an example."

Various discussions echoed around him, but Li Chen simply sipped his coarse tea and smiled without saying a word.

The initial arguments were somewhat interesting, but later it devolved into mere ramblings of the common folk.

Even the rumor that a grand army was sent by the imperial court to directly conquer and flatten the island nation of Japan has surfaced.

It would be good enough if they could have a battle in the morning, but sending troops to fight on the island of Japan... Li Chen must be crazy to even think about this.

"What are you going to do about the Eastern Kingdom's commander" Su Jinpa blinked curiously.

At the start of the war, the emperor of the Eastern Land sent a letter to our court, claiming that he wanted our princess married to him as an apology.

Li Chen put down his teacup and said calmly, "What do you think I should do about him"

Su Jinpa knew about this matter. She nodded slightly and clenched her fists, saying: "It's indeed necessary to kill one to warn a hundred, making them afraid to the bone."

As they were talking, several ordinary small dishes were quickly served.

After the meal, the courtyard arranged by the Jinyiwei was also ready. Li Chen brought Su Jinpa to this courtyard located within Tongzhou City. The environment and location were considered good. They began to experience life there.

Even though they knew they only had two days, Su Jinpa was still excited, decorating and furnishing her home. Li Chen, on the other hand, casually took out a book and leaned back in a lounge chair to read it carefully.

As the sun set, casting long shadows on the wall, Su Jinpa was busy with her work while Li Chen was engrossed in a book. For a moment, the scene had a sense of quiet harmony.

Finally done with everything, Su Jin wiped the fine beads of sweat from her nose and saw Li Chen lying comfortably on a lounge chair reading. She couldn't help but feel angry.

"Hey, I'm running around like crazy while you just lie there taking it easy. Isn't that shameless!"

Hearing Su Jinpa's complaints, Li Chen raised his eyelids and glanced at her before pointing to the teapot and saying, "Then you might as well brew another pot of tea for me."

"......" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Su Jinpa gritted her teeth and said resentfully, "You treat me like a maidservant!"

"It's just you and me here. I can't go alone."

Su Jinping said angrily, "If you want to drink tea, make it yourself!"

Just as the two were bickering, at the gate of Zhao Mansion in Beijing, Dantai Jingzhi got down from her carriage.

Li Yinhu was indeed standing at the door, waiting for them.

Upon seeing Dantai Jing's arrival, Li Yinhǔ immediately went up to greet him and said, "Mr. Dantai, your presence brightens this humble gathering."

Dàn tái jìng zhī gòng gòng shǒu, shuō dào: “Wáng jú kè le.”

Li Yinhu said with a smile, "The wind is strong outside. Why not come in with me, sir We have a table of wine and dishes ready inside to welcome you."

Dantai Jingzhi looked at Li Yinhu's enthusiastic smile, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.

He felt that the more enthusiastic Li Yinhǔ was, the harder it would be for him to ask for money from him.fuse.But Zhao Xuanji knew that refusing was pointless.If refusing were effective, he wouldn't have been able to slap the words "I'm not agreeable" onto Li Chen's face.But this was Li Chen's brilliant...
